Foil 21 ECMAScript

From The Document Object Model - Universal Access - Other Objects - CORBA XML Jini JavaScript etc. Tango Seminar to DoD Modernization MSRC -- April 6 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox
ECMAScript refers to standard ECMA-262 released in June 1997
ECMAScript is essentially JavaScript with all client and server-side features removed i.e. It is the language and not the browser AWT handler
The emerging HTML and XML Document Object Models (DOMs) are bound initially to ECMAScript
So one can use ECMAScript in several different domains (HTML XML VRML ...) by adding support for appropriate domain specific objects
Netscape Site has ECMAScript standard document
